Chicago Breast & Lymphedema Symposium 2016

Chicago, IL US
September 16, 2016 to September 17, 2016
The Chicago Breast & Lymphedema Symposium will identify, discuss and demonstrate complex breast reconstruction and lymphedema therapies within the framework of creating and maintaining multidisciplinary relationships.
 
The standard of care for breast cancer and for lymphedema spans multiple disciplines, including surgical oncology, plastic surgery, medical and radiation oncology, breast radiology, as well as rehabilitation. Outcomes are optimized for patients when multidisciplinary care is well coordinated. Symposium faculty will illustrate concrete examples of successful patient care through coordinated intervention, by breaking down individual procedures and analyzing steps in patient care. Faculty will also discuss technique and challenges encountered in various surgical procedures.
 
Following the symposium program, registrants will be able to differentiate when to use various breast reconstruction and lymphedema procedures as well as how to facilitate new relationship across disciplines to promote improved patient outcome.
